Description

Nanoscale siRNA delivery system
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of gene carrier materials, and particularly relates to a nanoscale siRNA delivery system with a self-accelerating endosome escape function, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Abnormal proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells are important causes of intimal hyperplasia in blood vessels, and provide effective targets for prevention and treatment of intimal hyperplasia. In recent years, emerging genetic engineering techniques, particularly RNA interference techniques, have achieved satisfactory results in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases (e.g., cancer, cardiovascular diseases, etc.). Thus, we believe that silencing target mrnas, proteins, and related cellular pathways in vascular smooth muscle cells using siRNA delivery technology would be an effective strategy to inhibit vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration. However, the bottleneck that has been limiting the therapeutic efficacy of siRNA is the lack of safe, efficient vectors. Therefore, the development of multifunctional siRNA delivery carriers makes it critical to deliver siRNA to vascular smooth muscle cells safely and efficiently.
In recent years, the rise of cell penetrating peptide research has injected new activities into the design of vectors in the field of gene/drug delivery. Generally, researchers will load genes and exert their function of penetrating cell membranes by cationic cell penetrating peptides, such as oligoarginine, thereby delivering genes into cells with high efficiency. However, this strategy also faces problems of non-specific serum adsorption and low endosome/lysosome escape. In order to further solve the problems, researchers find that the polyanion coating technology can effectively reduce serum adsorption in the blood circulation process, increase the serum stability of the gene complex and prolong the blood circulation time. However, it fails to simultaneously achieve the function of enhancing endosomal/lysosomal escape. Recent developments in smart polymer materials have provided a new field of view for the design of the above-described polymer-based carriers for drug/gene delivery, especially responses triggered by weak acid environments. The prior art can support chemical synthesis of a weak acid sensitive high molecular material which has the property of keeping stable and presenting polyanion under neutral or weakly alkaline conditions, but the property of triggering hydrolysis reaction of specific amido bond to reduce polycation when the material is placed in a weak acid environment. This process can be triggered within the acidic endosome/lysosomal organelle within the cell.

The delivery system has good serum stability and can be efficiently taken up by vascular smooth muscle cells. In addition, when the siRNA is trapped in an endosome/lysosome environment, the weak acid-sensitive polyanion can be gradually triggered and reduced into polycation, and then the polycation is separated from the surface of the binary complex under the induction of electrostatic repulsion, and the original binary complex and the polycation are regenerated, so that the endosome/lysosome escape efficiency of the siRNA can be remarkably accelerated, and the delivery efficiency and the silencing effect of the siRNA are promoted.

Example 11: zeta potential change monitoring weak acid induction system disassembly behavior
The sample solutions of example 3 and example 4 were taken in a mass ratio of 6:1:3, adjusted to pH7.4 and 5.5 with 0.1M hydrochloric acid solution, and Zeta potential values of 1h, 2h, 4h, 7h, 10h, and 13h were recorded using a Zetasizer Nano ZS instrument, and the results are shown in FIG. 6, where 1 is the Zeta potential value at pH5.5 for the sample solution of example 3 in a mass ratio of 6:1:3, 2 is the Zeta potential value at pH7.4 for the sample solution of example 3 in a mass ratio of 6:1:3, 3 is the Zeta potential value at pH5.5 for the sample solution of example 4, and 4 is the Zeta potential value at pH7.4 for the sample solution of example 4.
The experimental results show that: at pH7.4, no significant change in Zeta potential occurred in both sets of sample solutions. Under the weak acid environment with the pH value of 5.5, the Zeta potential value of the delivery system prepared by coating the weak acid sensitive polyanion gradually increases from the weak negative potential to the original binary compound level with time, and the Zeta potential value of the delivery system prepared by coating the non-weak acid sensitive polyanion is still not obviously changed. This may indicate the process: weak acids can induce the disassembly of sensitive delivery systems, allowing the regeneration of the original binary siRNA complex and-PLL.
Example 12: experiment of endosome/lysosome escape efficiency of siRNA.
Rat arterial vascular smooth muscle cells were cultured at 8X 104The cells were inoculated into a confocal plate and cultured for 24 hours, and then transfected with the sample solution of example 5, the sample solution of example 6 in a mass ratio of 6:1:3, and the sample solution of example 7 in a serum-free medium for 4 hours, respectively, and cultured for 24 hours again in a DMEM medium containing 10% FBS. The cells were washed twice with PBS, incubated for 1h with a pre-warmed solution containing 0.5mM Lyso Tracker Green, and washed with pre-warmed PBS2 times, further incubation with 2. mu.g/mL of Hoechst 33342 solution for 20min in the greenhouse, washing the cells twice with PBS, and finally observing Cy5-ERK2-siRNA (red dots) and lysosomes (green dots) and nuclei (blue dots), respectively, with confocal laser microscopy under excitation at 645nm, 504nm and 350 nm. Wherein: the red dot + green dot is yellow dot, and the red dot + blue dot is pink dot.
The co-localization ratio of Cy5-ERK2-siRNA in lysosomes was calculated using the following formula.
The co-location ratio (100%) [ yellow dot number)/(red dot number + yellow dot number + pink dot number) ] x 100%
As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, BRCs were the sample solution of example 5, TRCs-Aco were the sample solution of example 6 at a mass ratio of 6:1:3, and TRCs-Suc were the sample solution of example 7, and in each set of the bar graphs, the left side was 4 hours, and the right side was 24 hours. The experimental results show that: at the initial 4h, the binary complex exhibited higher efficiency of endosome/lysosome escape. In the time period of 4h-24h, intelligent disassembly and assembly of the weak acid sensitive delivery system occur, the escape efficiency of siRNA is greatly accelerated, and the siRNA is finally superior to that of binary compounds, and the process is actually self-accelerated inclusion/lysosome escape in situ.
Example 13: cell migration assay
Rat arterial vascular smooth muscle cells were transfected in 24-well plates using the sample solutions in example 2 at a mass ratio of 6:1, example 3 at a mass ratio of 6:1:3, and example 4 for 24h, centrifuged, and plated at 1X 105The density of cells/well was re-dispersed into the upper chamber of the transwell, cultured for 6h, the migrated cells were labeled with crystal violet, photographed and the cell mobility calculated by Image-Pro Plus 6.0 software, and the results are shown in fig. 8, where a is ERK2-siRNA (negative control group), B is commercial transfection reagent Lipofectamine 3000 (positive control group), C is the sample solution of example 2 at a mass ratio of 6:1, D is the sample solution of example 3 at a mass ratio of 6:1:3, and E is the sample solution of example 4. The experimental result shows that compared with a binary compound and a non-weak acid sensitive delivery system, the nanoscale siRNA delivery system with the function of self-accelerating endosome escape has better effect of inhibiting smooth muscle cell migrationThe effect of the shift.
